Jeanine Pesce

Best part of your job?
Closing the loop between people, product and planet while inspiring clients to consider purpose-driven brand building. Crafting holistic approaches to storytelling, content development and production.

Daily ritual
An early riser, I enjoy strong coffee while I listen to news briefings. I’m obsessed with global news. I spend most evenings reading The New Yorker cover to cover brainstorming on Cartoon Caption Contest ideas I’ll never actually submit.

Ryan Romero

Creative Director

What do you do here?
I steer brands toward deeper, more resonant connections with their audiences. My role at Monday is about aligning creativity with purpose—not just directing creative development, but crafting narratives that move people and build culture. With a background shaped by partnerships with brands like adidas, Arc’teryx, and lululemon, I’ve learned that true performance is about weaving together story, strategy, and impact, making the work we do not just about moving the needle but an extension of our clients’ vision, moving forward in lockstep with them.

Level 10 fun?
I enjoy discovering dive diners, hoisting kettlebells, swimming in oceans, devouring Tiramisus and setting up elaborate Hot Wheels tracks with my son.

Caitlin Low

Senior Strategist

Best part of your job?
The best thing about my role, outside of scrolling TikTok for, ahem, “research,” is showing our clients that content creation doesn’t have to be daunting and that with a few tricks it can be manageable. I also love a new challenge. So, bring it on!

Hudson Lee

Senior Strategist

Best part of your job?
Digging deep to get to the heart of who a brand is, and creating an epic strategy that makes them feel understood. There’s no better feeling than giving a client that ‘aha!’ moment and watching their faces light up when they see their dreams for their brand come to life.

Daily ritual
If my morning doesn’t start with at least one cup of coffee and two buttery pieces of toasted sourdough, I’m in shambles. I’m also a firm believer in the importance of a daily mental-health walk, rain or shine.

Surprising hobbies
I was part of a competitive jump rope team for over a decade as a kid, and can still whip out some intense double-dutch skills at a moment’s notice. I’m also a really good whistler. My go-to tune is Für Elise, much to the annoyance of everyone around me.

Zafira Rajan

Senior Strategist & Copywriter

Best part of your job?
Getting to the heart of a creative strategy that serves as the golden thread throughout everything we touch in a project. Even better? Seeing our clients light up when they realize we just “get them”—and high-fives with our incredibly talented team to celebrate.

Level 10 Fun
Give me a body of water, three books (backup books are very important), a pack of Digestive cookies, and sunshine—and I’m well on my way to my perfect day.

Street cred
Founder of Zafira Rajan Inc.—a decade of writing copy and strategizing for leading brands and personalities in the online space

Surprising hobbies
Canoeing with my local Paddle Club, cold dips in the ocean, tackling my to-be-read book pile, imagination forest walks with my toddler daughter, and double snuggles on the couch with my two very large dogs, Mars and Juno.

Amanda Gregory-Jones

Copywriter & Strategist

Best part of your job?
Seeing our team constantly raise the creative bar! Being surrounded by so many talented people and cool new projects is super inspiring. Plus they’re all pretty rad humans to boot.

Daily ritual
A dog walk (or three), drinking a ton of water, and relying on the Reminders app to run my life.

Level 10 fun
Posting up somewhere new for a weekend—preferably without cell service—to explore trails with my dog Tucker, read a stack of books, and cook big meals. Bonus points if there’s a fire for marshmallow roasting.

Surprising hobbies
Amateur homebrew cider maker, above-average crib player, and baker of arguably the best cookies you’ll ever eat.

BFA, Emily Carr University

Ollie Warman

Design Lead

Best part of your job?
I get to work with great people, and come up with creative ideas across so many different platforms and industries.

Daily ritual
I’m not one for routines but probably between doing plyometric workouts and making a billion cups of tea there’s a routine in there somewhere.

Level 10 fun
Anything board-related like skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing. As well as sunshine, friends, beers and good puns.

Cheyenne Manning

Designer

Best part of your job?
As a lifelong learner I thrive not knowing what project will stretch or flex which muscles. Brain day, every day.

Level 10 fun
Flipping sourdough pancakes before the sun is up—the best fuel before spending a day at the beach, camping in the woods, or biking around the city.

Daily ritual
I start my day with a classic big breakfast: eggs, sausage, and grapefruit, followed by a speedy cycle to the office!

Vanessa Cadena

Project Coordinator

Best part of your job?
I am Monday’s Project Coordinator, and organization-obsessed Caregiver. I love how much it allows me to learn and grow, and how all of a sudden, Monday—literally—became my favourite day of the week.

Where were you born?
Made, born and raised in Bogota. Proudly a Colombian immigrant.

Level 10 fun
Travelling to no-city destinations where I can disconnect from reality and witness Mother Nature’s beauty. I want to be the kind of grandmother who brags about having gone to all these amazing places.

Surprising hobbies
The friend who is the professional photographer of the group, but can’t get decent photos taken of her. Budget-friendly travelling planner. And future TikTok celebrity, whenever I bring to life my crazy content ideas.

Where have you lived?
Seattle, Montreal, and Vancouver have been home to my biggest life chapters.
